Race 7

This particular race begins on the Broker-Dukes Expressway on the eastern end of that duel-borough island. This race is chock full of twists and turns, and because of the immense traffic you're likely to find on various parts of the course laid out for you, you're rarely going to be able to hit high speeds and sustain those speeds for long. Instead, this is really a race of skill—you'll have to grab your lead and try to keep it as you twist and turn throughout the wild course.

The Broker-Dukes Expressway will hit Hickcock Street. When it does, swing right, and then take the next turn onto Saponi Avenue. When that small road runs into Ringo Street, head west, turning south on Onondaga Avenue thereafter. You might be able to get a bit of speed on Onondaga, but don't push it, because you're going to have to make a hard right onto Crockett Street, and then another hard right on Oneida Avenue, this time heading northward.

Oneida Street is another place where a minor burst of speed is possible, but you'll need to veer onto Kid Street and then northward once more on Oneida Avenue, where you can really pick up speed for what is essentially the only extended period of time throughout the entire course (about the length of three blocks). When you run into Soldiers Plaza (the traffic circle), head right on Sundance Street, swing left on the diagonally-placed Cayuga Avenue, and then use Dillon Street heading eastward to reconnect with the Broker-Dukes Expressway. That will make one full, well-fought, difficult lap. Only two more to go!
